Short scouting hunt nets my biggest silver find!

Hi all,
I stopped after work this morning for a short scouting hunt to check out the ground conditions and get a feel for the new permission I got.
Found out very quickly it's going to be a really tough site. Like the typical park it has a lot of trash, but it's also really loaded with iron from a building that used to be there. I switched over to my open screen program I use for cellar hunting and it started to pay off quickly. I wasn't there a couple swings and dug a 1923 wheatie. After that it was some clad and one more wheat by the end.
I had the idea before headed out to try a few swings at the lip of the ravine and got an ear blowing 12-48. I was thinking another buried crushed aluminum can, but couldn't resist. At about 3 inches I saw shiny chain links. Thought it was just another dog chain, but when I removed it I realized it was a very heavy chain bracelet. Checked the latch and sure enough it's stamped Mexico and .925!

Very nice , I`m in to those parks as well. Keep at them.

Whoa! :shocked04: 55 grams of 925!:wow:
Nice hunk of silver there Chris!:yes:
Congrats! :grin:

I agree with Tim, Nice hunk of Silver!!
It appears to be in great shape as well. :congrats:

Yeah, I was very surprised to see the .925 stamp, and then after cleaning that the latch still works! Only damage seems to be a safety link along the side of the latch is missing. Looked up similar bracelets being curious and found them priced new from $165 to well over $300! :shocked04: (one similar designer bracelet listed for $1000)
The only letdown was the wheatie being a 1923. At first I thought it was a 1922 without the mint mark which is a key error coin and very high value. Starts at well over $700 in G4 condition.

Nice jink of silver Chris. WD

Nice enough to wear!

Thanks everyone! Certainly been lucky with the bracelets like Dan said, and amazed to see both to be banner worthy. :yahoo: The plan is to spend a whole day out at that site this weekend and really hope to see some seated and old coppers.

That's a lot of silver for sure. Nice find.

Good chance there's more where that came from! Congrats
